π Google API Keys Configuration
This section is optional, use the official google api if you are having issues with error 429 when running a google search.
To use the google_official_search
command, you need to set up your Google API keys in your environment variables.
- Go to the Google Cloud Console.
- If you don't already have an account, create one and log in.
- Create a new project by clicking on the "Select a Project" dropdown at the top of the page and clicking "New Project". Give it a name and click "Create".
- Go to the APIs & Services Dashboard and click "Enable APIs and Services". Search for "Custom Search API" and click on it, then click "Enable".
- Go to the Credentials page and click "Create Credentials". Choose "API Key".
- Copy the API key and set it as an environment variable named
GOOGLE_API_KEY
on your machine. See setting up environment variables below. - Enable the Custom Search API on your project. (Might need to wait few minutes to propagate)
- Go to the Custom Search Engine page and click "Add".
- Set up your search engine by following the prompts. You can choose to search the entire web or specific sites.
- Once you've created your search engine, click on "Control Panel" and then "Basics". Copy the "Search engine ID" and set it as an environment variable named
CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID
on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.
Remember that your free daily custom search quota allows only up to 100 searches. To increase this limit, you need to assign a billing account to the project to profit from up to 10K daily searches.
Setting up environment variables
For Windows Users:
setx GOOGLE_API_KEY "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
setx CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID "YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"
For macOS and Linux users:
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
export CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID="YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"
Setting Your Cache Type
By default, Auto-GPT is going to use LocalCache instead of redis or Pinecone.
To switch to either, change the MEMORY_BACKEND
env variable to the value that you want:
local
(default) uses a local JSON cache filepinecone
uses the Pinecone.io account you configured in your ENV settingsredis
will use the redis cache that you configuredmilvus
will use the milvus cache that you configuredweaviate
will use the weaviate cache that you configured
Memory Backend Setup
Redis Setup
CAUTION
This is not intended to be publicly accessible and lacks security measures. Therefore, avoid exposing Redis to the internet without a password or at all
-
Install docker (or Docker Desktop on Windows)
-
Launch Redis container
docker run -d --name redis-stack-server -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest
See https://hub.docker.com/r/redis/redis-stack-server for setting a password and additional configuration.
-
Set the following settings in
.env
Replace PASSWORD in angled brackets (<>)
MEMORY_BACKEND=redis REDIS_HOST=localhost REDIS_PORT=6379 REDIS_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>
You can optionally set
WIPE_REDIS_ON_START=False
to persist memory stored in Redis.
You can specify the memory index for redis using the following:
MEMORY_INDEX=<WHATEVER>
π² Pinecone API Key Setup
Pinecone enables the storage of vast amounts of vector-based memory, allowing for only relevant memories to be loaded for the agent at any given time.
- Go to pinecone and make an account if you don't already have one.
- Choose the
Starter
plan to avoid being charged. - Find your API key and region under the default project in the left sidebar.
In the .env
file set:
PINECONE_API_KEY
PINECONE_ENV
(example: "us-east4-gcp")MEMORY_BACKEND=pinecone
Alternatively, you can set them from the command line (advanced):
For Windows Users:
setx PINECONE_API_KEY "<YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY>"
setx PINECONE_ENV "<YOUR_PINECONE_REGION>" # e.g: "us-east4-gcp"
setx MEMORY_BACKEND "pinecone"
For macOS and Linux users:
export PINECONE_API_KEY="<YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY>"
export PINECONE_ENV="<YOUR_PINECONE_REGION>" # e.g: "us-east4-gcp"
export MEMORY_BACKEND="pinecone"
Milvus Setup
Milvus is an open-source, highly scalable vector database to store huge amounts of vector-based memory and provide fast relevant search.
- setup milvus database, keep your pymilvus version and milvus version same to avoid compatible issues.
- setup by open source Install Milvus
- or setup by Zilliz Cloud
- set
MILVUS_ADDR
in.env
to your milvus addresshost:ip
. - set
MEMORY_BACKEND
in.env
tomilvus
to enable milvus as backend.
Optional:
- set
MILVUS_COLLECTION
in.env
to change milvus collection name as you want,autogpt
is the default name.
Weaviate Setup
Weaviate is an open-source vector database. It allows to store data objects and vector embeddings from ML-models and scales seamlessly to billion of data objects. An instance of Weaviate can be created locally (using Docker), on Kubernetes or using Weaviate Cloud Services.
Although still experimental, Embedded Weaviate is supported which allows the Auto-GPT process itself to start a Weaviate instance. To enable it, set USE_WEAVIATE_EMBEDDED
to True
and make sure you pip install "weaviate-client>=3.15.4"
.
Install the Weaviate client
Install the Weaviate client before usage.
$ pip install weaviate-client
Setting up environment variables
In your .env
file set the following:
MEMORY_BACKEND=weaviate
WEAVIATE_HOST="127.0.0.1" # the IP or domain of the running Weaviate instance
WEAVIATE_PORT="8080"
WEAVIATE_PROTOCOL="http"
WEAVIATE_USERNAME="your username"
WEAVIATE_PASSWORD="your password"
WEAVIATE_API_KEY="your weaviate API key if you have one"
WEAVIATE_EMBEDDED_PATH="/home/me/.local/share/weaviate" # this is optional and indicates where the data should be persisted when running an embedded instance
USE_WEAVIATE_EMBEDDED=False # set to True to run Embedded Weaviate
MEMORY_INDEX="Autogpt" # name of the index to create for the application
View Memory Usage
View memory usage by using the --debug
flag :)
π§ Memory pre-seeding
Memory pre-seeding allows you to ingest files into memory and pre-seed it before running Auto-GPT.
# python data_ingestion.py -h
usage: data_ingestion.py [-h] (--file FILE | --dir DIR) [--init] [--overlap OVERLAP] [--max_length MAX_LENGTH]
Ingest a file or a directory with multiple files into memory. Make sure to set your .env before running this script.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--file FILE The file to ingest.
--dir DIR The directory containing the files to ingest.
--init Init the memory and wipe its content (default: False)
--overlap OVERLAP The overlap size between chunks when ingesting files (default: 200)
--max_length MAX_LENGTH The max_length of each chunk when ingesting files (default: 4000)
# python data_ingestion.py --dir DataFolder --init --overlap 100 --max_length 2000
In the example above, the script initializes the memory, ingests all files within the Auto-Gpt/autogpt/auto_gpt_workspace/DataFolder
directory into memory with an overlap between chunks of 100 and a maximum length of each chunk of 2000.
Note that you can also use the --file
argument to ingest a single file into memory and that data_ingestion.py will only ingest files within the /auto_gpt_workspace
directory.
The DIR path is relative to the auto_gpt_workspace directory, so python data_ingestion.py --dir . --init
will ingest everything in auto_gpt_workspace
directory.
You can adjust the max_length
and overlap parameters to fine-tune the way the docuents are presented to the AI when it "recall" that memory:
- Adjusting the overlap value allows the AI to access more contextual information from each chunk when recalling information, but will result in more chunks being created and therefore increase memory backend usage and OpenAI API requests.
- Reducing the
max_length
value will create more chunks, which can save prompt tokens by allowing for more message history in the context, but will also increase the number of chunks. - Increasing the
max_length
value will provide the AI with more contextual information from each chunk, reducing the number of chunks created and saving on OpenAI API requests. However, this may also use more prompt tokens and decrease the overall context available to the AI.
Memory pre-seeding is a technique for improving AI accuracy by ingesting relevant data into its memory. Chunks of data are split and added to memory, allowing the AI to access them quickly and generate more accurate responses. It's useful for large datasets or when specific information needs to be accessed quickly. Examples include ingesting API or GitHub documentation before running Auto-GPT.
WIPE_REDIS_ON_START=False
in your .env
file.
data_ingestion.py
script anytime during an Auto-GPT run.
Memories will be available to the AI immediately as they are ingested, even if ingested while Auto-GPT is running.
β οΈ
π Continuous Mode Run the AI without user authorization, 100% automated. Continuous mode is NOT recommended. It is potentially dangerous and may cause your AI to run forever or carry out actions you would not usually authorize. Use at your own risk.
-
Run the
autogpt
python module in your terminal:python -m autogpt --speak --continuous
-
To exit the program, press Ctrl + C
GPT3.5 ONLY Mode
If you don't have access to the GPT4 api, this mode will allow you to use Auto-GPT!
python -m autogpt --speak --gpt3only
It is recommended to use a virtual machine for tasks that require high security measures to prevent any potential harm to the main computer's system and data.
πΌ Image Generation
By default, Auto-GPT uses DALL-e for image generation. To use Stable Diffusion, a Hugging Face API Token is required.
Once you have a token, set these variables in your .env
:
IMAGE_PROVIDER=sd
HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN="YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN"
Selenium
sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 & DISPLAY=:10 <YOUR_CLIENT>
β οΈ Limitations
This experiment aims to showcase the potential of GPT-4 but comes with some limitations:
- Not a polished application or product, just an experiment
- May not perform well in complex, real-world business scenarios. In fact, if it actually does, please share your results!
- Quite expensive to run, so set and monitor your API key limits with OpenAI!
